Eau du Desperation
That’s what I smell in Massachusetts:
The Twitter account for the nonpartisan District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics posted a link to an editorial criticizing Massachusetts Republican Sen. Scott Brown on Thursday, an act the government agency tells Yahoo News was an accident.
The link directed followers to a piece on the left-leaning Talking Points Memo website headlined “Really, Scott Brown?” that attacks him for bringing up a controversy surrounding the Native American heritage of his challenger, Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren, at a recent debate.
“We would not have put that up there,” Board of Elections spokeswoman Karen Raper said when informed of the Twitter post. “I don’t know how it got there.”
Anthony Weiner’s toaster could not be reached for comment.

Don’t look at me! I didn’t post that! The one armed man did it!
Someone’s getting fired in Boston.
What does the District of Columbia have to do with Massachusetts?
Uh-oh. The JournOlistas are going to have to resort to carrier pigeons.
The underground corruption got caught in emails, phone conferences, and now tweets.
It’s not just the sender, it’s the JournOlista articles where their plants inside of political organizations do their dirty work.
Don’t know how “it got on there”? Really? When you are corrupt, it helps if you can lie with a straight face.
All of these ‘accidental’ posts/leaks/whatevers.
Either these people are incompetent, just plain stupid, od deliberately trying to cheat.
Pick three.
How does an organization get the appellation “nonpartisan” Do they somehow screen out all the employees who have actual opinions and principals? Or do they just hang a sign on the door saying so?
This is why I am adamantly opposed to term limits. In fact, I’m in favor of repealing the one that limits the President. The bureaucrats are highly partisan and motivated. They command unlimited resources and nearly unlimited power. And top that all off w/ complete job security up to and including committing crimes.
The only thing holding these people in check are elected representatives, who are accountable, that can’t just be waited out.
All government employees should be “at will” subject to the exact same hiring/firing practices us in the real world face.
